Introduction to Natural Gas Gathering and Processing

Event Date : eu-US 1:30 PM - 9:30 PM (GMT 0)Posted By : Forum AdministratorEvent Details : November 8 to November 9, 2006Introduction to Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Houston, USAThis two-day course is designed to familiarize participants with the basic aspects of behavior and characteristics of natural gas, and the common processes and equipment used in gas gathering and processing. This course is ideally suited to technical, operations and maintenance personnel involved in gas gathering and processing who have had limited exposure in this area, or for professionals involved in other areas of the petroleum industry who require a comprehensive overview of gas gathering and processing. A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.

Event Date : eu-US 2:00 PM - 2:00 AM (GMT 0)Posted By : Forum AdministratorEvent Details : November 8 to November 8, 2006World Oil Reservoir Optimization Seminar: Understanding and Diagnosing Injectivity Issues Houston, TX This seminar and networking breakfast, the fourth installment in the Reservoir Optimization series, will explore common causes of injection problems, how they commonly manifest in the field, and present a variety of solutions for the remediation of and prevention of reduced injectivity. Registration cost is just $45. Click here for registration and event information or please email events@gulfpub.comwww.gulfpub.com/default.asp?page=6

This 4-day workshop is designed for petroleum engineers and geo-scientists who require an appreciation of the key business drivers that influence the development of oil & gas reservoirs, the key uncertainties that must be managed through the life of such reservoirs, and an understanding of how the management (or mismanagement) of these uncertainties can affect reservoir performance and field economics. The course will provide participants with a framework for reservoir management; a list of key business drivers affecting the onshore and offshore development of gas reservoirs, depletion drive oil reservoirs, water floods, EOR schemes, & pilot floods; and a toolbox for evaluating the performance of producing oil and gas fields. Through the discussion of a variety of example reservoirs from on-shore and off-shore developments around the world, participants will gain an appreciation of the strategies required to enhance the performance of producing reservoirs. A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.

November 7 to November 9, 2006Fundamentals of HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) Well Completion DesignHouston, USA

This 3-day course is designed for engineers and technologists regularly involved in normal completion designs and practices who wish to learn about the uniqueness of HPHT Completion sesign, as well as operations superintendents, managers, or specialists who require an appreciation for the complex nature of HPHT completions. The course will provide an engineering design methodology for planning of High Pressure and High Temperature wells, which are becoming much more prevalent in the industry. These trends require significantly more detailed engineering and preparation, ensuring operations and equipment are safely implemented. The importance of adequate stress and temperature profile analyses, tubular and connection selection criteria, proper completion equipment selection, completion fluid selection, operational considerations, and detailed timely planning will be emphasized. The utilization of a commercial thermal and stress analysis software will be demonstrated and classroom exercises will re-enforce the principles being taught. A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.

November 6 to November 8, 2006Introduction to Petroleum Refinery Processing and Bitumen UpgradingCalgary, Canada

This 3-day course presents an overview of the modern, integrated petroleum refinery, including crude oil properties, a history of fuel product specifications, and process descriptions. Each refining process will cover operating description and conditions, feedstock and catalyst selection, product yields, and the relationship between process parameters, unit performance and product output and properties. Future operations, in response to changing crude oil quality and product slates and quality, will be discussed. The third day is devoted to a thorough review of the technologies used to process crude oil resid, followed by an overview of tar sand bitumen and heavy oil properties, status of upgrader projects, and the processes employed at the upgrader sites to convert bitumen into sweet “crude.” A complete set of course notes and lunches are included.

November 6 to November 9, 2006Petroleum Engineering for Non-EngineersCalgary, Canada

This four-day course is designed to provide non-engineering petroleum industry technical professionals with a thorough overview of most key aspects of petroleum engineering technology and its applications. The course addresses engineering issues ranging from initial involvement with explorationists to production optimization challenges. The sessions will focus on relevant and practical issues, and will include a combination of classroom exercises and basic engineering problems. For those wishing to supplement this course with knowledge of surface facilities issues, we recommend that this course be supplemented with our existing “Introduction to Natural Gas Gathering and Processing” course. A complete set of course materials and lunches are included.
